+XMill is a new tool for compressing XML data efficiently. It is based
+on a regrouping strategy that leverages the effect of highly-efficient
+compression techniques in compressors such as gzip. XMill groups XML
+text strings with respect to their meaning and exploits similarities
+between those text strings for compression. Hence, XMill typically
+achieves much better compression rates than conventional compressors
+such as gzip.
